Spring 2019 BCBA Scholarships Announced

Autism Recovery Foundation (ARF) is pleased to announce the awardees of our Spring 2019 BCBA Scholarships.

Our scholarship program was launched in 2014 to help individuals seeking the BCBA certification.  Professionals who are certified at the BCBA level are independent practitioners who provide behavior-analytic services.  Minnesota has a large shortage of BCBA practitioners serving children with autism. In addition, BCBAs supervise others who implement behavior-analytic interventions. Since 2014, ARF has provided scholarships to more than 60 students totaling more than $60,000.  These scholarships build the qualified professional autism workforce in our state.

After careful review of all applications for BCBA scholarships, the ARF board of directors would like to congratulate the following students who were each awarded a scholarship for the Spring 2019 semester:

  • Krista Alvord – Florida Institute of Technology
  • Erin Dietz –  Florida Institute of Technology
  • Jennifer Hagen – St. Cloud State University
  • Deeqaifrah Hussein –  Florida Institute of Technology
  • Kelsey Loeffler – St. Cloud State University
  • Alison Stark – St. Cloud State University
  • DeAndre Sully-ColemanFlorida Institute of Technology

These scholarships are primarily funded through donations by individual and corporate sponsors.  To find out how you can support our BCBA scholarship fund and build Minnesota’s autism workforce, check out our donations page.

The next deadline for BCBA scholarships is July 1, 2019.
